Synopsis

Practical, hands-on physics for the classroom, using affordable experiments to reveal core ideas.

This guide argues that physics comes alive through laboratory work, not through lectures alone. It emphasizes objective teaching, where observation and experiment lead to understanding, with concepts clarified only after students explore phenomena themselves. The book is designed for schools with limited time and resources, promoting simple, workable laboratories that mirror real scientific practice.

- Emphasizes laboratory practice as a central path to learning physics
- Provides a flexible plan for organizing home, laboratory, and lecture-room experiments
- Shows how to use inexpensive apparatus while still teaching key ideas
- Focuses on the conservation of energy and the correlation of forces as unifying concepts

Ideal for teachers and students in secondary education seeking a practical, demonstration‑rich approach to physics.
